I think the part you're missing is this passage > soul-level letting-go of our pain, our sorrow, our suffering," Holub says. "And we do that because we want to be free. I'm not saying that it's easy or something

The poor never had no economic value to begin with, the question merely becomes who is the latest in the line of exploiters. When they have no power and no leverage they are forced to work for peanuts in menial jobs that can just as easily

Using resources as a blanket term to describe goods and services as fungible with a market that can trade them, it's probably a better descriptor of available goods and services that can be consumed instead of the fluctuating cost of s

> better to lift the worse-off up than pull the better-off down. Given a fixed amount of resources, this isn't a choice but a matter of fact. You cannot do one without causing the other. This then becomes deciding what the lowest le

What are the benefits of a fortune 500? Who are the beneficiaries? The main ones would be investors and management, including a subset of employees. Given the tax loopholes that are often taken advantage of, I would hardly say that the coun

With a password manager though, I avoid having tradeoffs in the first place. I get some amount of anonymity by separating my accounts, and it's trivial to login to sites with the same amount of clicks as with third party sso.

Mike Godwin make several claims that the only way for the .org tld to survive is that it requires capital to improve. Another point that is repeated is that PIR (current owner of .org) is constantly making a surplus of money. The reasoning

I'm not making a distinction of how valuable a particular piece of work is, just that work in general is valuable and should be valued such that whoever is employed by it should be able to be sustained by it. If a person desires work b

Not OP, but my personal belief is that all work is valuable, otherwise it wouldn't be desired. I don't think it's a good exercise to decide how much it is worth, except to say that work that requires X unit of time should pro

On the flip side regulations are in place to protect the ill-informed consumers (either due to mental capacity or lack of information). I figure consumers enjoy being in their position anyways, they just want something to work without havin

I seem to be getting the same impression through all the news and 'research' that have come up over the years. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Creativity seems to stem from being outside of the "mainstream" mindset, of going down paths not taken and trying unconventional strategies. Most of the time these don't work out putting an emphasis on the tried and true, but

I'm not sure about prove, but I definitely believe that it can lead to actionable statements. Logical arguments are a layering of priors, arguments, and conclusions, which can be deductively analyzed to find proper conclusions given a
